12 Urgent Things Any Government Must Do To Rescue Britain

No matter what party; no matter what doctrine or flavour; any future leadership in Britain must take immediate, urgent political action to arrest the accelerating death spiral and restore the country's fortunes. No political actor should be considered credible unless they address these issues.

The Problem: Belief In "Third Way" Technocracy

The Fabian attempt to cement an attritional cultural revolution in Britain, – to "modernise" it into secular, technocratic, multicultural form of Nordic-style social democracy as part of an EU federal superstate – has been a catastrophic failure.

We are a 2000 year-old Christian parliamentary monarchy, featuring distinct branches of the same mono-culture, which is famed as home of the shopkeepers of the industrial revolution and transmitted through schooling and enduring institutions. We do not have abstract Euro-"values," we have ancient customs, prejudices, traditions, practices, humour, and traits.

We are "British" to others overseas; at home, we are English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish. We are inventive, conservative, adventurous, eccentric, class-driven, and we do not trust foreigners. We abolished slavery, established Pax Britannica, gifted rule of law and liberty, and created the modern world with its great democracies.

We know who we are. And we know what's wrong. We did not vote for it; we do not want it; and we are at a point the collapse is so exhaustive our country is in existential peril.

1. Suspend All Immigration For A Decade

Immigration is the one arterial vector driving all British voting intent. The Treasury's refusal to stop mass-importing workers to pay for the broken Beveridge model welfare program has become a national security problem: it is fermenting political extremism on both sides; driving up housing/living costs; generating sectarianism; and significantly increasing criminality. The ECHR was only ever intended to function at interstate level but Protocol 11 1998 began a flood of abusive individual cases undermining domestic law.

The aggravating factor of immigration must be removed to ameliorate civil conflict and sectarian violence.

2. End The Reign Of The Civil Service

As the "heart of darkness in the permanent government," the temporary, unelected Cabinet Office of 1916 is now more powerful than the Prime Minister. Almost all British governance problems trace their origin to unaccountable, unelected permanent secretaries, and a bloated technocracy of soviet-style quangoes undermining Parliament. The Civil Service aristocracy's control over politicians, along with its chronic incompetence, has been so risible since WWII it has been the subject of BBC comedies.

The ever-growing, uncontrollable administrative state must be abolished to allow the governed to continue to take part in their own governance.

3. Cut Up The National Credit Card

The “official” UK debt currently stands around £2.8–£2.9 trillion, or ~94.5% of GDP. It is forecast to rise over the next 5 years to ~97% of GDP. We are spending £90–110 billion per year just on interest payments: 8–10% of all public spending, £300 million every single day, or £12–14 billion every month. There is an extra £675bn bill to cover the cost of renewing existing borrowing in the form of government loans, on top of £628bn increased government spending. That is £3.53tn. Long-term liabilities (especially pensions) add £2.6 trillion.

The size of the state must be reduced by 70%. We are borrowing money to pay interest on loans. No business could function like this.

4. Restore The Integrity Of Police & Judiciary

The politicisation of the police as "social workers" through commissioners, ideological poison by the College of Policing, absurd degree requirements, two-tier partiality, understaffing, authoritarian abuse of legislation, over-use of mass surveillance – on top of endless corruption and failures to investigate national scandals – has brought confidence in the service to its knees. The constitutional crisis of a "supreme court" operating over a sovereign parliament, revised "rule of law," and activist judges, along with an emergency court backlog and legal staffing crisis has led to advocacy of ripping up Magna Carta.

The police must be depoliticised, English liberty must be returned, and the courts properly funded to restore the tradition of impartial, fast, blind justice.

5. Abandon The Beveridge Welfare State Model

The "national religion" of the NHS is a temple to socialism costing £200+ billion with a waiting list of 7.75 million; 23.2 million adults are on some form of state assistance as a shadow employment agency for the unwell; unfunded public pension liabilities alone are the same as the country's GDP (£2.6 trillion+); housing benefit is the size of the Army + RAF budgets combined (£25–28 billion/year) with a waiting list of 1.2 million. With 11 million people over 65 today and 13 million in 10 years, the 1945 model is mathematically impossible no matter what anyone does.

We must accept the Beveridge model has been broken for 60 years. We can have a country, or socialist disaster of catastrophic equal poverty – but not both.

6. Rebuild Independent Military Capability

Over-dependence on American protection, pacifist politicians from the 60s, and an idealist desire to be a unit of the utopian European Defence Agency has led to us being in the weakest state since the Napeoleonic wars. Our nuclear ordnance is non-functional; we have no missile defence; the army is the smaller than the WWII unit in Berlin; lawfare is killing the SAS; the Navy is down to 11 frigates; RAF recruitment is political and dismal; and our submarine programme is "catastrophic."

The MoD and its quangoes must be abolished and the military budget handed back directly to the armed forces.

7. Lift The Financial Burden From The Working Class

It takes money to make money. Wealth flows upwards, and does not "trickle down." The tax burden is at the highest since WWII and state spending (£1.2T) gobbles 45% of the nation's entire £2.5T GDP. Of the poorest fifth of households, 44% (2.6 million) were behind on household bills or on scheduled loan repayments; 69% (4.1 million) lacked essentials; and 54% (3.2 million) cut back on food or went hungry. Wages have not risen since 2008 and the median average FT salary is £39,500. A worker on a salary of £25,000 pays 20% income tax (£2,486) 8% NI (£995), Band D council tax (£130), indirect taxes (£200) – before basic living essentials like rent, food, utilities, and transport. At £50k, half of your income swallowed by the state. But the state only gets bigger, or the poor have to undergo "austerity."

The state must entirely renounce its demands from the bottom 50% of the population to relieve them with disposable income to spend into the economy.

8. Re-pool National Political Talent

The wealthy have fled to Dubai. The entrepreneurs have fled to California. The doctors have fled to Australia. Retirees are going to Portugal and Canada. Universities are chasing Chinese money. Gen Z are going literally anywhere else. As Dominic Cummings has pointed out, all the talent has been driven out or abandoned any idea of a career in politics. The recent Parliaments have been described as the worst crop of politicians in living memory as an inevitable consequence of our politicians outsourcing their work to Brussels for 30 years.

The state must offer extremely generous incentives to bring back the brain drain diaspora who would lead national revival, and enforce standards for parliamentary entrants.

9. Confront The Scandals & Morality Rot

10 million children have been killed through foeticide since the 1967 Abortion Act, 98% of which had nothing to do with rape, incest, or deformity. 1 in 3 pregnancies were violated by physician-assisted female infanticide. Online pornography obsession at 10 and a rape epidemic; mass community child rape gangs; honour killings, counterfeit marriage and secular "partnerships"; sex education for 3 year-olds with chemical castration for teenagers; Opposition to cousin marriage bans and mercy killing of the elderly passed in 2025 alone. Hillsborough, Prince Andrew, David Kelly, Snowden, torture, Grenfell, mass rape, Westminster paedophiles – then the endless list of cover ups. Does it ever end?

There must be a Truth & Reconciliation program to hold the British Establishment accountable for their sins.

10. Abolish The Local Authorities

14 councils have issued section 114 notices since the Local Government Finance Act 1988 became law. Hillingdon and Hackney councils were the first and second to do so, in 2000. Potentially 100 more may be automatically bankrupt in the early part of 2026 without emergency assistance when current accounting exemptions expire. They cannot manage homelessness; cannot manage homes for children; are endlessly corrupt; consume £70 billion a year; incubate radicalism, and perform abysmally. Mayors and commissioners are even worse.

We cannot afford local soviets anymore, and their functions must be given to parishes and local small businesses.

11. Abandon Whacky Vanity Theories

The pursuit of "Net Zero" utopia fantasy has deliberately demolished the UK energy supply and driven utility prices to the worst in the world. Civil servants have employed mass psychological manipulation on taxpayers without lawful authority. Institutions have been forced to replace national flags with radical fringe symbology. The Bank of England has been mass-printing currency on the speculative basis of absurd Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). That doesn't even touch the disgusting idea of "lockdown."

The testing experimental theories on the public by the state must be outlawed.

12. Propose A New Constitutional Settlement

Devolution has not entrenched local democratic sensibilities, it has failed in Northern Ireland completely and torn the most oldest political union into sectarian pieces. The government is leasing its own strategic assets back from its enemies. Social media's direct democracy has replaced representative democracy. The social contract has been torn to pieces. The House of Lords still exists 800 years after we proposed dissolving it. It goes on and on and on. The UK's political class gave up governing in 1994 when we became an EU colony.

Any new government must reorganise how the United Kingdom functions as a structure in the long term for the technological space age of AI.


Explainer: Quangoes Are Soviet Planning Units

Underneath the implosion is an intractable belief the European Union can resurrect the original vision of the USSR, structured into federalised councils of technocracy which transcend the conflict of capitalism vs socialism.

The founding Soviet dream was to radically re-fabricate human society and human nature itself: a scientific, modern, egalitarian, post-scarcity world where coercion disappears, borders vanish, and a morally new human being arises.

Soviets ("councils") were imagined as a new form of democracy, with Lenin arguing representative parliaments were obsolete because they separated decision-makers from producers. Early Bolshevik texts describe soviets as organs of applied expertise rather than ideological rule. Bogdanov, the grandfather of Soviet systems planning, imagined soviets as systems-engineering institutions, or proto-cybernetic organisations designed to optimise labour, learning, and culture; Lunacharsky saw soviets (councils) as cultural “temples."

Quangoes are no mere "accidents" and the "quangocracy" did not "evolve." Quango "councils" and "commissions" are ideological units developed within the Russian soviet framework as a means of governing. Capitalism was seen as structurally violent — wage labour, class hierarchy, inherited privilege. The idealist Soviet promise was a society with no classes, no bosses, no concentrated wealth; where human beings cooperate rather than coerce.

The USSR’s founding cosmology was universalist: no borders; no empires; a federation of peoples; voluntary unity replacing conquest. Intellectually, it began as a millenarian salvation project, closer to an apocalyptic religious movement than a labour policy. They wanted decentralised direct democracy: factory councils, barracks committees, local soviets — all federating upward. Lenin explicitly framed workers’ councils (not bureaucratic parties) as the democratic mechanism of socialism.

No ruling caste: governance was imagined as a civic rotation, not a hierarchy. governance must be so rational, so technical, that any literate worker can do it. It would become a technical task, not a conflict over power. As Lenin said:

... the final victory of socialism is when every cook can govern the state.

Society would function like a vast federation of self-managing councils staffed by scientifically educated producers. Sound familiar?

It failed disastrously because the dream requires dissent (but was labelled counter-revolutionary); it requires bottom-up democracy (civil war created top-down militarisation through emergency centralisation); it requires voluntarism (economic collapse forced coercion); and it requires mass education (when literacy was low and bureaucracy filled the gaps, so technocracy was replaced by party apparat).

The utopia produced its opposite.

Put simply, the invasion of unelected "councils" controlling and policing every area of British public life did not happen as a matter of ordinary course. It was ideological, subversive, and deliberate. The "open borders" experiment did not arise out of nowhere; nor did the programs of "decolonisation" of the Empire, or the emergence of a "voluntary" federated union in Europe to "save" it from its own nationalistic self.

Blair and the eurocommunust "Third Way" crowd tried to solve socialism's fatal "production problem" by marrying it with neoliberal markets, as the Nordic social market economies appeared to function. An experiment China is still trying via "socialism with Chinese characteristics."

What we are living with is the consequences of our political class attempting to keep the catastrophically-failed ideas of the twentieth century on life support, because they believe – like the ideological heroes they venerated during university – they have the magical formula to finally make them work where others couldn't.
